ABSTRACT
Lady Lovelace famously pressed against Alan Turing and his “Turing Test” 1 (hereafter T 1) a short but powerful argument; charitably paraphrased, it runs as follows.
Computers can’t create anything. For creation requires, minimally, originating something. But computers originate nothing; they merely do that which we order them, via programs, to do. (see [236])
